Duolingo French Podcasts
Most of the users on this forum use Duolingo, so we have a section about the Duolingo French podcasts. This resource is different from the others mentioned here because the some parts of the podcasts are narrated in English & others in French.
The above list is a collection of links to web sites maintained by various French teachers around the globe. Most of these sites are not authentic French resources (produced by francophones for francophones) but for students of French. They don't cut words as much, elide as much, or use as much argot as native speakers, and the content is instructional.
Below are some links to sites that teach grammar to francophones and to a collection of dictionaries. You probably need a B1 level to use the grammar lessons, but everyone needs a dictionary...
